EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a poignant moment in history, showcasing the wounded Archbishop Eminence Affre as he bestows his final blessing on his journey. Taken on Monday, 26th June 1848, this engraving by Charles Vallet beautifully portrays the tragic events surrounding Denis-Auguste Affre, the esteemed Prelate and Archbishop of Paris. In an attempt to quell the violent riots that plagued France during June 1848, Archbishop Affre found himself unintentionally caught in the crossfire. The image depicts him being tenderly carried on a stretcher by soldiers through a bustling street scene. Despite his injuries and deteriorating health, there is an undeniable aura of strength and resilience emanating from this religious leader's portrait. The composition evokes both sorrow and admiration as we witness a man dedicated to his faith fulfilling his duty until his last breath. The wounds inflicted upon him serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made for peace and justice. This engraving not only immortalizes Archbishop Affre's bravery but also highlights the importance of unity amidst chaos. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, we are reminded of how fragile life can be and how even in times of adversity, leaders like Archbishop Eminence Affre continue to inspire us with their unwavering commitment to their beliefs.
